1. We have a tame robin ( Erithancus rubecula ). It first appeared when it was quite young: wide beaked and speckled with feathers sticking out at silly angles. Now it has a fine red breast. When the back door is open it sits on the doorstep then hops into the kitchen as if it were its own house. It hops under the table and daintily picks up all the crumbs and then hops out again.

The Theme for Novembers ATC swap on Addicted to ATC's is "Spooky". I did mine in good time this month while I could still be in the mood for Halloween before tackling my Christmas cards!

Sometimes I think I take things for granted. When I should be thinking about how fortunate and blessed we are, I think about how we need so much work done on our old farm house or how I would really love to buy myself a dishwasher because I'm sick of always having so many dishes to do by hand. I think of how I need a new vehicle. My vehicle has served me well and I love it, but having a baby and having...

I'm currently kind of sidelined with H1N1 (I know, it's the virus everyone's talking about. I feel like such a name-dropper.) This is why the blog's been a little quiet. But I did have a thought, and I figured I should write it down before I take some more Tylenol Cold and Flu and it goes away. The reason that the Christmas season seems to start earlier and earlier each year is because Thanksgiving...

I have defeated countless bosses in my time as a gamer. Big ones, small ones, ones with no eyes and giant tongues that they use as weapons. There are some truly unique and surprising bosses out there, waiting to be discovered. However, it seems that for every truly fresh and exciting boss, there is a boss that has been seen and slain a dozen times already. This is the spotter's guide to videogame bosses,...

1/50s @ f/3.5 ISO 200 (exposure compensation -0.33) As the rain eased the water was dripping off the leaves of this plant and I liked the round droplets against the straight lines of the leaves. 1/30s @ f/2.8 ISO 400 The rain had stopped but the sky was still overcast and it was early evening.
